VSTi ripping and latency question
Hi,
I am using a rather prehistoric PC, but I don't think I should be encountering
the following problems:
I have a tiny project set up in Cubase SX2, running on a 600 mhz Pentium 2
with 512 MB RAM. Cubase ASIO and kX are set up fine and working, with
latency set to 21.33 ms (for recording and playback).
I set up a single MIDI track routed to the Battery VSTi drum sampler, and
did a short take of BD & Snares.
Next I wanted to add some Hi-Hats but everything went wrong: Timing,
audio rips, pops etc.
I reset the Cubse Audio priority to NORMAL (Default is HIGH), and the problem
relaxed a bit, untill adding a bass line track using NI's FM7,
which reintruduced timing bugs, clicks, bad note-on recording etc.
Am I in for a computer swap, or is there anything that can be done with things
I haven't looked into yet, such as buffer sizes or other?
PS: I am purpously NOT using any DSP or hardware synths -
trying to learn the limits of pure VSTi use!
